The Summer We Smiled

Looking back from now
I can see why we were happy 
Nesting in the radiant sun
And allowing the folds of our
Clothes to intertwine. 

Looking back from now
I can hear the ecstasy
Of our eager, hungry voices
And the melody of 
Cicadas filling our hearts. 

Looking back from now
I can feel the tickles
Of the breeze in our hair
And the soft caress of the
Fluttering, pale petals. 

Looking back from now
I can smell the newly opened
Fragrance on my neck
And the sweet, familiar 
Cologne on yours. 

Looking back from now
I can taste the raw 
Anxiety smothered in glee 
And the lack of
Judgement for our future. 

Looking back from now
I can regret all of the
Mistakes we'd made
And yet it always goes back to
The summer we smiled.
